Cannot configure Network Settings

Hi guys,

I have created my own image using susestudio and everything is working fine but the thing is after installing network manager applet doesn’t load automatically.
I have to go to Yast->Network settings->Global Options and then select " User controlled with Network Manager".Only after doing this network manager icon appears in task bar and becomes editable.I thought of removing Yast also from my image.

Is there a way to automatically load network manager applet after installation.

I am using Opensuse 12.2 with xfce4 desktop.

Thanks in advance and any help will be appreciated.
